LOOM-TEMTPLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 45, 1921.

Application filed April 17, 1920. Serial No. 374,588.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN HAMnnsKI, a citizenof Poland, residing at Goodyear, county of WVindham, and State ofConnecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inLoom-Temples, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates generally to looms, having more particularreference to an improvement in the means for mounting the loom templeswhich hold the warp stretched during weaving.

The invention has for an object to provide an improved and simplifiedslide-base for mounting the temple on the breast-beam of the loom.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects andadvantages thereof, reference will be had to the following descriptionand accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in which thevarious novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a detail face view showing the breast-beamof a loom with the temples secured thereon by means of my improvedslide-base.

Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view of the slide-base.

In the drawings 10 indicates the breastbeam of a loom of ordinaryconstruction, this breast-beam having the usual longitudinal slot 11therein. The temple jaws are shown at 12, being of any approvedconstrhction and mounted on the upper ends of vertical rods 13 carriedin stands 14, these stands being carried in my improved slide-base, aseparate slide supporting each stand as will be understood. At theirlower ends, the rods 13 carry nuts 13 in order to limit the downwardmovement of the members 141.

My improved slide-base comprises a rectangular plate 15 elongatedlongitudinally of the breast-beam 10 and being of a width equal to thevertical width of the breastbeam. Upon the rear face of this plate areformed a pair of longitudinally extending tongues 16 and 17 adapted toproject into the slot in the breast-beam to slidably guide the plate 15during adjustment on the breast-beam. Between these tongues, and inalinement therewith, the plate 15 is formed with a pair of apertures 18adapted to receive bolts 19 which engage in the slot in the breast-beamand thus secure the plate in place.

The outer end portion of the plate 15 is formed on the front face of theplate with a thickened portion 20 upon opposite sides of which arevertical ribs 21 forming between them a guiding groove in which thetemple stand 14- is received, the latter being secured in place by meansof screws 22 passing therethrough and through the thickened end portionof the plate provided with holes 22 not passing entirely through theplate, and against which the stand is clamped by the screws. This endportion in which the stand is held is preferably extended vertically asat 20' to increase the bearing of the stand, the rib 21 beingcorrespondingly extended.

It will be apparent that with my improved base-slide the temples aresecurely held on the breast-beam and that any adjustment required can bequickly and easily made. It is to be understood that the slidebases atopposite ends of the loom will be of right and left construction, beingotherwise of identical construction.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent of the United States is- 1. A base-slide forloom temples, comprising an oblong rectangular plate having a pair oflongitudinally alined ribs on the back face thereof, and having aplurality of openings therethrough between and in alinement with thesaid ribs, said plate having at one end a forwardly thickened portionpresenting vertical side ribs forming groove between them.

2. A base-slide for loom temples, comprising an oblong rectangular platehaving a pair of longitudinally alined ribs on the back face thereof,and having a plurality of openings therethrough between and in alinementwith the said ribs, said plate having at one end a forwardly thickenedportion presenting vertical side ribs forming a groove between them,said thickened portion being extended vertically beyond the side edge ofthe said plate.

In testimony whereof I have afiiXed my signature.

JOHN HAMERSKI.
